Only when I breathe.
Depends. A guy like Bas Dost who was well liked among the fans and was actually attacked by the ultras, there's no real ill will towards him. But guys like Rui Patricio and William Carvalho who were the captains and apparently led the charge in getting this group of players to quit, there's no way they can come back. They were already being targeted by the ultras before this whole thing started, now it'd only get worse. Sporting knows the fans don't want them back, and the board will accept deals of around €20m for them. Other fuckers like Podence and Ruben Ribeiro, we couldnt care less that they've gone, and in Ruben Ribeiro's case his future club, Nice, has already said it's trying to reach a deal with Sporting, offering double of what we paid for that piece of poo poo. Very weird considering all these players would easily win in court, according to the legal experts in this thread.
The only player so far who's returned is Bruno Fernandes, and the reaction was mixed. It helps that he was the player of the year in the league last season, and that he's assured fans he's signed the exact same contract he had before, without an increase in salary. He's going to have a rough time at first but the fans will probably come around, he'd only been at Sporting for one year so people hadn't expected him to be particularly loyal to the club. They're all cunts in my eyes

Are you going to miss Gelson Martins? He's been a rumored Liverpool target, but it looks like he's heading to the oh-so-incorruptible Atletico Madrid.

Father! The keeper has awakened!

I'm getting worn out by all the transfer rumors linking Liverpool to keepers. It's an obvious weak spot, but I think Liverpool are going to sit on it until something "just right" comes along because it's not like sucker fans (like me) are going to stop supporting.

to change topic, PSG have allegedly descended upon AC Milan like the vultures they are with an eye towards Leonardo Bonucci. I've also heard they're in for Alex Sandro, which fits their defensive template more than Bonucci does, unless he speaks Portuguese.

given Milan's situation they should take PSG's cash for Bonucci

also in ridiculous rumors related to Juve, there was word of some ultra-double-secret buyback clause for Pogba for €60m that made the rounds today

Hahahahaha so Maddock came out last night and said that Klopp isn't interested in any new keepers. Instead he's going let Ward (who played exactly one game last season) try out for the number one spot, and Mignolet may stay to "fight for his place"

This is a loving shambles. From the sounds of it it isn't that we've tried and failed to sign keepers, it's that Klopp doesn't want to sign keepers. He's looked at the same jokers from the last few seasons and decided that they're perfectly fine. What's concerning is that the fans are turning against him over this. It's not going to be "Karius/Mignolet/Ward is poo poo" this season, it'll be "Karius/Mignolet/Ward is poo poo and why hasn't Klopp replaced any of them" and we all know that things can balloon in football.

Yeah it happens every transfer window now and is then quickly forgotten about. My personal favourite recently has been Alex Teixeira, widely built up as an amazing target, then some hyperactive fans attacked the club and FSG when they were hugely outbid by a Chinese team.

Im constantly seeing Liverpool linked with Vida, he seemed to have a pretty good WC, but then so did Lovren so im skeptical.

Milan are actually quite financially stable now; the Chinese are gone and Elliott owns the club. They have a shitload of money but won't spend it. Word is they want to inflate the value of the club high and sell it to the next idiot.

So as much as Bonucci is the best player on the squad, unless PSG come in with more than 40 mil or whatever he was bought for, then I bet he stays.

Which fans? I think Klopp has kind of bludgeoned most Liverpool fans into a state of dazed amusement over his willingness to stick with players so I don't see that kind of anger in the circles/sites I visit.

Transfers can happen right now, in fact we've already signed two players (okay one was actually last season), are about to sign another, and they've played for us so no idea what you're talking about

It's all over twitter/reddit/social media. Yeah maybe the local fans are different but there's no denying that this decision has gone down very badly.
